Here’s the Friday open-comment thread, and a new Geek Gathering location

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for the TechBlog open-comment thread.

You know the score: Leave a comment about anything having to do with personal technology, and I’ll approve it.

Others will see your pearls of wisdom and cast a few of their own.

Come back later to see what others had to say about what you had to say, then say some more!

Also, a note about September’s Geek Gathering:

The location where we’ve had the Technology Bytes Geek Gathering for years – first as Coffee Groundz, and then as Aperture – has closed. The Sept. 7 gathering will be at a new location: Kohn’s Bar, at 2808 Milam near Tuam in Midtown.

As with Aperture/Coffee Groundz, the spot has coffee and free Wi-Fi, but also has beer and wine – and darts! The event starts at 7:30 p..m. or so, and I’ll have more details in next week’s open-comment thread. But make your plans now to join the Geek Gathering at its new location!
